This is from pub med. Maybe the same study.

Hi John,
the results do seem encouraging. It doesn't say if they are doing further trials. Are we to assume they are? Also, are they using the same people for further trials or new people?
Sorry, I'm firing questions at you expecting you to have the answers but you are possible in the same situation as me!!
Would you consider being a guinea pig???

I backed out of being a candidate at a study just starting at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri because they didn't want me to take any sleep meds, and at this point I can't go off them completely.

This area of research looks really promising.
